That’s why they seem to inexplicably throw bombs and 50/50 balls on third and medium to short plays. It’s also why they look completely lost inside the red zone when they’re not close enough to Bro Shove. They’re obsessed with these runs to Jalen. You have playmakers like Goedert and Brown, but can’t figure out how to scheme those guys open for scores in the red zone is unacceptable. I think unfortunately it’s a combination of all 3. And that’s the worry, it all needs to change. I think they need to bring in an OC like a Joe Brady. Someone to just simplify what the QB needs to do and play to the QBs strengths. I know this scheme is not creative but it doesn’t play to Hurts strengths either.
January 1, 20241 yr I've been very patient and positive with this team all season but that's now changed. Last night was absolutely pathetic. Tossing away a 15 point lead at home against a dreadful team in a must-win game is inexcusable. I can't even blame the players. Whoever was calling plays on offense in that 4th quarter should be tarred and feathered before being fired immediately.

They barely had the ball and were extremely efficient outside of a couple of drives. The sheetshow of a defense that couldn't get a stop yet again killed them. They changed coordinators and look even worse to the surprise of absolutely no one. The Cardinals didn't have a single punt with superstars Greg Dortch, Rondale Moore and Michael Wilson at WR.
January 2, 20241 yr The offense looks much better when they no-huddle. I’d love to see more of it against the Giants.
January 3, 20241 yr Author This reminds me of when the Raiders hired Jon Gruden. The Eagles offense was never the same until Andy Reid had time to rebuild it.
January 3, 20241 yr For the Giants game why don’t they just change the play caller? Go with Sirianni (who I don’t think will be much better) or go with someone else on the offensive coaching staff. It can’t really be worse than BJ and it may just give this team a boost or a shot in the arm.

If he had any ability to call plays he would have taken over for BJ weeks ago.

Yeah you are more than likely right. I just think this offense has too much talent to keep doing what they are doing. Maybe look to bring in someone like Reich? I know they won't do that but it feels like they need to do something different to give them any hope. I know the season is pretty much over but they could win a play off game (long shot but they could) and then I mean who knows. There's a chance to salvage what once was a promising season but the only way they can do that is getting the offense right.

January 3, 20241 yr If you´re going to change the playcaller for a one game experiment, give the keys to Jalen. Let him call plays based on what he sees

Let him call plays based on what he sees I don’t think that’s a good idea. Jalen should be making decisions based on what he sees pre and post snap anyway. I think he needs someone in his ear though. The problem is neither the OC or the HC seem to be the right guys.

A HC that calls his own plays would help for when the OC is getting hired elsewhere

Like if he can’t call a good offense with his own scheme then the problem becomes mostly about him.
January 4, 20241 yr "A.J. is a great player, and we've got to force him the ball sometimes and make sure we get him going," --- Brian Johnson This is the moment where I lost all faith in Johnson. I realize most of you were already there, but I was still in wait and see mode. If after 16 games, they still haven't figured out that you can't "force" things, there's no hope.

Don’t force things because that’s when mistakes happen. Scheme for your best players absolutely but that’s down to offensive scheme, reading what a defense is giving you and executing not forcing it.
